SANTA FE RECOVERY CENTER'S RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SERVICES EXPANSION FOR PPW - SANTA FE RECOVERY CENTER OPERATES ONE OF A FEW ACCESSIBLE RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS IN NEW MEXICO FOR THE POPULATIONS OF FOCUS: LOW-INCOME PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN CHALLENGED BY SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUD) AND THEIR MINOR CHILDREN. THE GEOGRAPHIC CATCHMENT AREA IS THE WESTERN NEW MEXICO (NM) COUNTY OF MCKINLEY AND THE NORTHERN COUNTIES OF SANTA FE AND RIO ARRIBA. IN ITS 2020 TREATMENT GAP ANALYSIS, NEW MEXICO DEPT OF HEALTH IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING TREATMENT GAPS: THE NEED TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH SUD TO AVAILABLE SLOTS FOR EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT, AND THE NEED TO MORE EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE SUD SCREENING INTO PRIMARY CARE AND UTILIZE EDS AND HOSPITALS AS ENTRY POINTS TO CARE. SANTA FE RECOVERY CENTER (SFRC) PROPOSES TO INCREASE ACCESS FOR WOMEN WITH CHILDREN IN RECOVERY BY EXPANDING AND ENHANCING ITS THERAPEUTIC CHILD CARE PROGRAM TO INCLUDE STRENGTHENING ITS REFERRAL PROCESSES WITH HOSPITALS AND OTHER DIRECT SERVICE PROVIDERS TOWARD THE FOLLOWING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. GOAL 1: PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES FOR PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN WITH SUD AND CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS (COD) ACROSS THE CONTINUUM OF RESIDENTIAL SETTINGS THAT SUPPORT AND SUSTAIN RECOVERY. OBJECTIVE 1: INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PPW WITH SUD RECEIVING COMPREHENSIVE RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR 90 DAYS BY 10% EACH YEAR, USING 2022-2023 PROGRAM DATA AS BASELINE. OBJECTIVE 2: REFER 80% OF NON-RESIDENTIAL FAMILY MEMBERS EACH YEAR TO CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE SERVICES INCLUDING LOCAL FAMILY INFANT TODDLER (FIT) PROGRAMS, OTHER COMMUNITY PROVIDERS, AND SFRC'S IOP MAT PROGRAM FOR OPIOID SUD, TRAUMA-INFORMED FAMILY THERAPY, NUTRITION PROGRAM, AND MORE. GOAL 2: INCREASE ACCESS TO TREATMENT AND SERVICES FOR LOW-INCOME PPW WHO HAVE A SUD AND LINK THEM TO SERVICES AND TREATMENT BASED ON THEIR INTEREST. OBJECTIVE 3: PROVIDE OUTREACH IN THE COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY 20 PPW WHO HAVE A SUD EACH YEAR AND ENGAGE THEM REGARDING TREATMENT USING MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING AND MOTIVATIONAL ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUES. OBJECTIVE 4: ENGAGE 15 PROGRAM PARTNERS, SECTOR-SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE (IHS) PARTNERS VIA A STEERING COMMITTEE ON THE NEED TO SUPPORT THE PPW PROGRAM AND IMPROVE REFERRAL PROCESSES TO LINK PPW WITH SUD TO APPROPRIATE TREATMENT AND SERVICES. SANTA FE RECOVERY CENTER (SFRC) IS A 501C3 NON-PROFIT, CARF (COMMISSION FOR THE ACCREDITATION OF REHABILITATION FACILITIES) ACCREDITED SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) PROGRAM BASED IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, WITH OPERATIONS IN GALLUP, NEW MEXICO. IT OFFERS DETOXIFICATION, RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT, EXTENDED RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT, RECOVERY HOUSING, BRIDGE HOUSING, REGULAR AND INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT, AND MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT TO MORE THAN 3,500 CLIENTS ANNUALLY OF DIVERSE SOCIOECONOMIC AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS; 50% OF CLIENTS ARE OPIATE ADDICTED. CLIENTS ARE APPROXIMATELY 60% HISPANIC, 30% CAUCASIAN, AND 9% AMERICAN INDIAN. THE MAJORITY OF SFRC'S CLIENTS ARE MEDICAID RECIPIENTS. SFRC RECEIVES MORE OPIOID ADDICTED CLIENTS THAN MOST SUD PROGRAMS STATEWIDE BECAUSE IT UTILIZES SUBOXONE AS A TOOL FOR BOTH DETOX AND RECOVERY MAINTENANCE.
